The holidays are behind us; you know what that means—it's tax season! But before you start gathering your W-2s and receipts, there's an important question: Do you know who will prepare your taxes this year?With a nationwide shortage of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and tax professionals, waiting too long to find a preparer could leave you scrambling—and vulnerable to scams. Here's how to protect yourself and find a trusted tax preparer.Who Can Prepare Your Taxes?When hiring a tax professional, your preparer will likely fall into one of three categories:Certified Public Accountant (CPA): These professionals undergo rigorous education, exams, and licensing requirements. Many specialize in tax preparation and can also provide broader financial guidance.Enrolled Agent (EA): Licensed by the IRS, EAs are tax experts who can prepare and file returns, represent clients before the IRS, and provide tax planning services.Tax Attorney: These legal professionals specialize in tax law and are particularly useful for complex tax situations, audits, or disputes.Each of these professionals is highly qualified—but the problem is there aren't enough of them.There is a growing shortage of CPAs and tax professionals, largely due to fewer young people entering the field. One of the major "Big Four" firms, KPMG, continues to offer high school students internships at $22 an hour to encourage them to become CPAs.What does this mean for you?Longer wait times to book a tax preparerHigher fees due to increased demandGreater risk of falling into the hands of fraudulent preparersWhen people are desperate to file their returns, they can become easy targets for scammers who fake credentials or engage in tax fraud.How to Avoid Tax Scams and Find a Qualified PreparerTo protect yourself, follow these IRS-recommended steps when choosing a tax preparer:1. Choose a Year-Round Tax PreparerA reputable preparer should be available year-round. You don't want your tax preparer to disappear if you get audited.2. Verify Their IRS CredentialsAsk for the IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). All paid tax return preparers must register with the IRS and enter their PTIN on every return they file.Check their status using the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers at IRS.gov.3. Look for Professional CredentialsAsk if the preparer holds a credential such as:CPA (Check with the State Board of Accountancy)Enrolled Agent (Verify at IRS.gov under "Verify Enrolled Agent Status")Tax Attorney (Confirm with their State Bar Association)Additionally, inquire about continuing education, as tax laws change frequently; professionals should stay current.4. Be Cautious About FeesBeware of tax preparers who:Charge fees based on a percentage of your refundClaim they can get you a larger refund than competitorsA legitimate preparer should charge a flat or hourly rate based on the complexity of your return.5. Verify IRS E-File CapabilityMost tax preparers handling more than 10 clients must file electronically. If your preparer refuses to e-file, that's a red flag.6. Ensure Proper DocumentationA trustworthy tax preparer will ask for the following:Your W-2 and 1099 forms (not just a pay stub)Records of deductions and creditsIf a preparer doesn't ask for supporting documents, walk away. The IRS requires proper documentation to verify your return.7. Understand Representation RulesOnly CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and tax attorneys can represent you before the IRS if you're audited. Non-credentialed tax preparers—including your math-savvy cousin Bill—cannot represent you in an audit.8. Never Sign a Blank or Incomplete Tax ReturnPlease review your return carefully before signing. Ensure all information is accurate, and ask questions if anything appears incorrect.9. Your Refund Should Go to You—Not the PreparerCheck the routing and account number on your tax return to ensure your refund is deposited into your own account, not your preparer's.Looking for a Faith-Based Financial Professional?If you want to work with a tax professional who aligns with biblical financial principles, consider finding a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax attorney with the Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®) designation. To find a trusted, faith-based tax professional, visit FindaCKA.com. With tax season here, choosing a reputable, qualified tax preparer is more important than ever. Don't wait until the last minute—start your search today to avoid scams and ensure your taxes are filed accurately and ethically.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have long-term care insurance and want to know if it covers assisted living, and for how long. Also, how expensive are these policies—what's the range?I'm 45 and looking to buy a house with a 30-year mortgage. Is that a wise move since I'd be nearing retirement by the time it's paid off?I'm remodeling our bathroom for my husband, who has Parkinson's, and it will cost about $25,000–$30,000. Is it better to take the money from my 401(k) or from equity in our paid-off home?My husband is retired, and when he tries to claim disability, they tell him he can't because of my income since we file jointly. Should we be filing separately?My mom may receive a settlement of around $300,000 after my dad passed. She wants to save some for the grandchildren. How will that affect taxes, insurance, and Medicare, since her income would change?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Movement MortgageOur Ultimate Treasure: A 21-Day Journey to Faithful StewardshipWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

People with aphantasia can't visualize images in their mind's eye. Ask them to picture an apple and they see a blank screen. Aphantasia researcher Joel Pearson, PhD, discusses how scientists are developing new methods to measure aphantasia beyond self-reports; how aphantasia may affect people's memory and emotions; the link between aphantasia and creativity; the opposite condition of hyperphantasia, or extraordinarily vivid mental imagery; and what these differences in our internal mental experiences can teach us about consciousness and neurodiversity.

Blank pages waste time; smart templates build businesses. We walk through three practical builds in Canva and show how to turn simple starting points into original, high-value resources teachers actually want to buy on TPT—without copying or cutting corners. You'll see how small design tweaks, licensed fonts, and clean layouts boost clarity, and how scaling one idea into a multipage set instantly lifts perceived value and price.First, we rework a color-by-number into a focused operations with integers pack. The approach is simple: refine borders, swap in your brand fonts, and structure problems so color sections reinforce computation. Then we show how to multiply that effort—three pages each for adding, multiplying, and dividing, plus optional word problems—so you have a cohesive nine-page resource that justifies a $3 price point and positions you for bundles.Next, we rethink task cards as a concept-building sort. Students match fractions, decimals, and percents to visual pie charts, turning recall into flexible translation across representations. We share layout tips, a scaffolded example card, and self-checking options that cut grading time. For primary teachers, the same framework adapts to phonics—sorting clip art by initial sounds or grouping by target answers for early math.Finally, we convert cute but digital-only letter sorts into print-ready pages with clear directions, dashed cut lines, and intuitive visuals like a shelf and trash can for keep-or-toss sorting. From there, it's easy to expand into uppercase vs. lowercase sorts, mixed-word identify-and-circle pages, and cumulative reviews. Throughout, we emphasize ethical use of Canva (you'll need Canva Pro for selling Pro elements), originality, and shop trust—because sustainable growth on TPT comes from real classroom value and consistent quality.Subscribe for more step-by-step creative workflows, share this with a teacher-seller friend, and leave a review telling us which resource you want built live next.Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/B1ByuTNh42ACheck Out My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfulton My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/ My Other YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATsch Free Rebranded Teacher Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115  Support the show

Marni Blank is an “after-loss professional.” What does that mean? Imagine someone with a legal background, lived experience of loss, a steady head for details, and the ability to step in and quarterback the team when someone in your life has died. That's what an after-loss professional can be. I find this work both fascinating and profoundly useful. Tune in this week to hear what Marni has to say about what actually needs to happen after a death – and if you'd like a clear, step-by-step guide, you can also download my free e-book on bestlifebestdeath.com, When Someone Dies… What Do I Need to Know?For more information on Best Life Best Death please visit our website at ⁠⁠www.bestlifebestdeath.com⁠⁠Follow us on our social channels to receive pertinent and helpful resources on death, grieving, and more at:Facebook: ⁠⁠www.facebook.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠www.instagram.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠⁠

Marshall To is a multidisciplinary artist focusing on photography, painting and illustrations. He grew up uniquely in a Taoist family in a small town called Red Deer which created a unique integration of western landscape and eastern beliefs.He moved to Vancouver where he currently resides working as a Chef -  growing up in a Chinese immigrant household food was integral to the culture and more importantly a language used to communicate. Unsatisfied with just cooking Marshall began taking pictures of food and quickly began photographing and styling for local magazines and websites then off to an endeavor to seek even more with photography and art.His first monograph, Blank Notes, is a book that combines that unique integration of western and immediate landscapes with eastern rituals and belief. https://marshalljamesto.comhttps://www.instagram.com/marshalljamestohttps://charcoalbookclub.com/collections/recent-books/products/blank-notes?variant=42002660819031This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book ClubBegin Building your dream photobook library today athttps://charcoalbookclub.com

Champagne cold. Lights low. Midnight approaching. This is my New Year's Nu-Disco House Party Mix — built for the moment when the room is full and nobody's ready to go home. We kick things off in serious style with Sister Sledge – He's The Greatest Dancer (Dimitri From Paris Remix) — disco royalty, reborn for the countdown. From there, it's wall-to-wall class with heavyweight reworks from Dave Lee, Michael Gray, and Jamiroquai – Little L (Dave Lee Reblend), setting that glossy, late-night groove where everything starts to feel just right. As the clock ticks closer to midnight, the energy lifts with certified party weapons: Joey Montenegro – Make A Move On Me (Original Disco Edit), Anané – Let Me Be Your Fantasy (Blackchild Remix), and Dr Packer's irresistible nu-disco flip of Push The Feeling On — pure hands-in-the-air moment. Expect big smiles, locked-in dancefloors, and that warm, euphoric buzz as Cassius, JKriv, and Blank & Jones carry things deep into the night. Disco roots, modern polish, and a groove that doesn't rush — it celebrates. No filler. No filler vibes. Just big remixes, big names, and the perfect soundtrack to welcoming a new year. Press play. Raise a glass. Let's dance into it.

My guest this week will nudge you to think about what you've already taken care of – and what's still unfinished – when it comes to end-of-life planning. Marni Blank and I dive into some of the most fascinating (and often avoided) questions: What gets in the way of getting things done? What superstitions keep us from filling out the paperwork? Does talking about death somehow invite it in? (Spoiler: no.) Why is having your paperwork in order actually a profound gift to the people you love? And perhaps most importantly, when it comes to something you can do today: what are the “Big 3 Passwords” that will make life and death a lot easier if they have been shared?For more information on Best Life Best Death please visit our website at ⁠⁠www.bestlifebestdeath.com⁠⁠Follow us on our social channels to receive pertinent and helpful resources on death, grieving, and more at:Facebook: ⁠⁠www.facebook.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠www.instagram.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠⁠

Leon Black's response to being named in the Epstein survivors' lawsuit against Bank of America follows a familiar and well-worn script: recast himself as collateral damage rather than a powerful figure who knowingly remained in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit long after Epstein's crimes were public. Through statements and court filings, Black has framed his inclusion in the lawsuit as unfair, misleading, and opportunistic, arguing that he is not accused of committing abuse and that his name is being dragged into litigation simply because of his wealth and past association with Epstein. He presents himself as someone who was deceived by Epstein, emphasizing that he severed ties once he claims to have understood the full scope of Epstein's conduct and portraying his financial dealings as unrelated to trafficking or exploitation. In this telling, Black is not a beneficiary of Epstein's system, but a bystander whose reputation is being harmed by guilt-by-association.What this framing carefully avoids is the core allegation raised by survivors: that powerful men like Black, through continued financial engagement and personal access, helped legitimize Epstein, sustain his influence, and enable the broader machinery that allowed abuse to continue unchecked. Survivors and their attorneys argue that Black's claim of victimhood rings hollow given the years of documented payments, meetings, and post-conviction contact, all of which occurred in an environment where Epstein's criminal history was widely known. The lawsuit does not need to accuse Black of direct abuse to implicate him in the ecosystem that protected Epstein; it is precisely his power, credibility, and money that made that ecosystem possible. By casting himself as the injured party, Black attempts to flip the moral gravity of the case, shifting attention away from the survivors' claims and toward his own reputational harm—an inversion that many see as emblematic of how elite figures have repeatedly insulated themselves from accountability in the Epstein scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Billionaire Leon Black Fires Back at Epstein Victim's Bankrolling Claims
